Let Me Be Brief.

We all take for granted art school. We are given projects that build our portfolios, and help round us into better artist, designers, and perhaps even people. But what we take for granted most are those briefs that our professors give us. We complain while we are there and we don’t realize that creative briefs that are just handed out for free is kind of a luxury.

When I got out of school I looked EVERYWHERE for creative briefs so I could practice doing a design that has someone else stipulations, desires, and needs. I had a really hard time…until I found Briefbox. A place where you, as a brand new, drowning-in-student-loans creative could go and get briefs for free. However, times have changed.

I want to start working on a broader range for my portfolio so where do I go first? Thats right Briefbox. Unfortunately they are not free anymore. As I am still drowning in debt, I can’t seem to afford paying for briefs.

So, I’m turning to any creatives reading this: Where do you go to get creative briefs for practice? OR are you purely a “I make what I want to make” type of creative?

Because I feel like I need to post more design here is one of the briefs I have completed from Briefbox.
